Russia and syria are meeting this morning one day after syria pledged cooperation and france president Francois Hollande says they plan to focus efforts on syria on i. S. I. L. Fighters and says moscow strikes have been hitting other rebel forces the same one the u. S. Backs in the fight against Bashar Alassads government and rory challenge is live in moscow this morning and give us an update of what putins stance is in the fight and what has changed. If you listen to what he said on thursday you can say his stance has stayed pretty much consistent and he is still loyal to president Bashar Alassad and said it was up to the Syrian People to decide whether assad was the man forcier for syria and should be an ally of anyone who is interested in combatting terrorism inside syria and said to combat i. S. I. L. Properly you have to have Ground Forces and the only Ground Forces that are legitimate inside syria according to Vladimir Putin are the Ground Forces of the syrian president namely the syrian army. If there is some shift in Vladimir Putins stance that is as he put it we have reached an agreement with france to avoid any strikes on those territories and those armed units that are ready to fight terrorism and that has been interpreted as putin saying he is not going to attack any groups other than i. S. I. L. But i think that is a very vague statement and there is much, much room for interpretation there. I agree with that rory because he has to find a terrorist to include alnusra front and other opposition groups and continuing tensions between turkey and russia with the turkish downing of that Russian Military jet and russia says it is now planning sanctions against turkey . Well, yeah, plained sanctions, we dont actually specifically know what they will be yet and we have a pretty good idea and the reason we do is they have started hitting turkish imports and produce and clothing, that sort of thing with much more Stringent Health checks, hygiene checks, sanitary checks that sort of thing and unsurprising are finding numerous violations and turkish produce and imports are being turned away from russian borders and also know the russians are trying to dissuaded its population from traveling to turkey on holiday. And now russian tour operators are basically being prohibited from selling turkish package and tours to russians. We also know that russia is getting much tougher on turkish nationals inside russia so the interior Ministry Said the other day that turkish nationals here might have increased tension from the police and know of 39 turkish businessmen here who on wednesday were picked up in southern russia for visa violations and these are things we are likely to see more of in the coming days and will see specific legislation in the coming days when the Ministry Come back with their reports. Reporter how big of a deal are sanctions if you can call them that that you describe there especially given the economic relationship and not talking about Energy Imports and turkey imports a lot of russian oil products. Yes, it does and imports a lot of oil products and a lot of gas and also imports a lot of russian wheat, all of those things are likely to be hit. The other thing that is likely to be hit is the plan for russia to build Nuclear Power stations inside turkey. These are big joint projects, adding to that the turkish stream gas pipeline project, big infrastructure and likely to have a severe lid clamped down on them by the latest events and also tourism, russians love to go to turkey. There are two countries they go to, most of all in the world turkey and egypt, egypt has also been hit because of the incidents over the downed russian passenger jet and turkish tourism will be hit by basically no russian tourists. Rory challenge reporting from moscow, thank you, remembering victims of paris attacks and held a Memorial Service for 130 people who were killed. This somber ceremony was one of if first formal gathering since the attacks and Francois Hollande topped politicians and names and ages of all 130 victims read allowed and Francois Hollande asked people to hang a flag in their window today as a tribute and we have more from paris. From president Francois Hollande today was to reflect and articulate the national mood. First of all paying tribute to those who died, expressing solidarity to the families and to the survivors. Also going on to reaffirm french values who said were not in any way diminished or eclipsed by events on november 13th and launching this very clear message of frances determination to defeat the forces behind the attack. And yes a very vital part of that will be the continued investigation, the sharing of intelligence with other countries in particular pursuing leads here in europe and have seen the importance of the belgium connection early in the investigation and the organizer and planner of the attacks abdul rahman alqadhi a Belgium National and a lot of involvement of the police carrying out raids and search as well as from germany a week before the attacks German Police arrested a man who had a paris address in gps and a careful of weapons and a search for national and International Level to catch, to track down any other people who were involved in helping to support and provide help to the attackers and of course anyone who could potentially be involved in attempting to organize similar attacks. Jackie reporting from paris and police shot and killed a palestinian who rammed his car in a group of israelis at a bus stop at the occupied west bank but a jewish settlement and two were injured in the attack and in the occupied territories left both sides dead. White snow and messy weather continuing in the Holiday Weekend and freezing rain and sleet moved through partsov iowa and nebraska and low temperatures and icy roads made it for difficult roads in some areas and more from nicole mitchell. And people have it off and no holiday sale is worth risking the roads and we are talking through the great lakes through texas and areas of rain, a little starting to get in the northeast, the lighter side of it but on the backside is the wintry mix because the system going through is dropping the temperatures so some of the ice reports and places with freezing rain anywhere from kansas to lubbet and amarillo you are seeing that this morning and still some of this back and lingering parts of california under some of the Winter Weather advisories until 8 00 a. M. Local time so two or three hours watch for the conditions and pink is ice storm warnings and most worried about that and places we are not used to driving in some conditions and could go up to a half of an inch between today and tomorrow and that is enough to bring down sometimes power lines or trees so be very careful besides making the roads treacherous and very warm ahead with the cold air and memphis 71, up the east coast a lot of 60s and really lovely weather behind this denver at 22 so you can see that temperature contrast is going through and also the heavy rain side of all of this, ill have more on that coming up, in the next half hour and could cause flooding. What is the trick to driving in an ice storm coming from someone in la . Im from minnesota, the trick is not to drive but if you have to you want to give yourself a lot of extra room and go take it really slow so you have reaction time in case that car starts moving in a way you are not expecting. Nicole mitchell thank you. Protesters in chicago plan to disrupt black friday shopping today, demonstrations are planned on upscale north Georgia Avenue also known as the magnificent mile, the main shopping area and outraged it took more than a year for a white Police Officer to be charged with murder in the shooting death of a black teen and video of officer Jason Van Dyke shooting the teen 16 times was only released this week. Security scare at the white house as the first family was celebrating thanksgiving and arrested a man after he scaled a fence on the north lawn and pictures shown him draped in American Flag and raised his hands when he reached the other side of the fence and immediately taken into custody and not clear his motive and witnesses say he was carrying an envelope and the white house had to be locked down for two hours, donald trump demanding apology and accused of mocking the appearance of a times reporter and covered trump extensively in the 80s and 90s and trump says he doesnt remember him and we have the story. It was an impersonation in keeping with Donald Trumps campaign of saying the unsayable. I dont know what i said, i dont remember. Please i dont remember, maybe that is what i said. Reporter referring to a journalist with a debilitating condition that effects his joints and reporting is also what trump used to bolster his claim that thousands were celebrating the collapse of the trade center on 911 in new jersey and they contradicted his claims. The stories were checked out and were not true and didnt happen. Reporter other unsayables that muslims should be treated with suspicion and torture is acceptable in the interest of National Security and mexican immigrants are rapists. Its nothing new, trump has a history of alleged racism in his business dealings and the u. S. Itself has a history of sometimes violent racial prejudice and some find that not be holden to anyone. He is a business man and knows how to get things done. Reporter needs context and its way too early in the nominating process to be predicting outcomes and those historically likely to vote for the next president ial candidate do not start paying attention to the race until the next caucus and that is next february. Second the opinion polls are those who identify as republican and not those who are likely to vote. Love ya. Reporter at this point in the race in 2011 herman cain noted for his controversial statements was in the lead and being prized by his outsider status but trumps numbers also have to be put in a national context, 25 of americans identify as republicans, of that number some 27 say they support trump. As noted u. S. Pollster nate silver points out that is 6 of the u. S. Population. The same number who believe the moon landings were fake. Dancing in the streets and roofto rooftops. Reporter not to say its not significant and the republican establishment has not pushed back to trump and if that is too early in the race its not clear and the other candidates considered mainstream are any less extreme in attitudes to erase Civil Liberties and admin but they are less quotable.

The Foreign Ministers of russia and syria meeting in moscow today talking how to end the war in syria, on thursday russian president Vladimir Putin pledged country support for Coalition Fighting i. S. I. L. And promised french president Francois Hollande that moscow will only target i. S. I. L. Fighters in syria and Francois Hollande received pledges for cooperation from britain and u. S. In the wake of paris attacks and weeks before the attacks president obama ordered up to 50 special ops troops to syria and debate ever since about whether the troops will make a difference, military historian andrew told me recently the president is realizing the complexities of this war. If we expect the u. S. Behavior to be perfectly consistent we will always be disappointed and i think what is going on is that this president who i believe genuinely meant it when he said that he wished to extract the United States from perpetual war has found himself unable to deliver. I dont really think the announcement about 50 special Operation Forces on the ground helping the kurds is actually that big of a deal. The larger story here, and i think the larger critique of u. S. Policy with regard to iraq and syria has been this incrementalism. I mean we started with a little bombing and then we did a little bit more bombing and started with a few trainers to support the iraqi army and sent in a few more trainers so we are in the process of seeing mission before our very eyes and i think most observers think that mission ciet is a failure in war. You would not argue for sending in a full content gent of troops. No i would not. For iraq or syria and can you project power without military power like syria with the Russian Military involved and Iran Military and proxys involved . We have been attempting to project military power in that region of the world for a heck of a long time and i think the question is not whether we can do it, its whether or not having done it that produces a good outcome and its clear if you are looking at iraq or looking at afghanistan, we maybe have the mightiest military in the world and do not have sufficient might or wisdom or staying power to impose our will on those countries and so what you have to do is say well then if not that route what is the other route and i think that it is pastime to give diplomacy a chance. When we say diplomacy its not simply a bunch of people in suits sitting around dinner tables. They tried diplomacy in jen geneva in 2012 and has not led to results so what is diplomacy . If you are looking for results next week or the week after that is not going to happen. The diplomacy ought to be an effort to bring into existence a new equilibrium of power in which the key players in the region recognize that they, in fact, all have an interest in restoring stability and that notwithstanding the fact that iran and saudi arabia may have a very deep seeded rivalry with one another, that said, they ought to find ways to collaborate and restore instability. That is not a trivial task, im not trying to suggest that it is but i think that when youre looking for what is the alternative to the continuing futility of the American Military effort the creation of an equilibrium of power at least deserves to be examined. A leading gop candidate a man named donald trump says his approach to syria would be let the sides fight it out and we will pick up the remnants, how is that different from what you are saying . The difference is trump sort of implies we will wash our hands over the entire situation, im trying to suggest that diplomatic engagement can help powers in the region recognize that its not in their interest simply to fight it out and see who is the last person standing. Andrew you have written in previous books that you are against military intervention in a lot of cases but what about your personal experiences have informed that view . Well. Youre a military man. I served quite a period of time in the army and i suppose the central experience of my military career was the vietnam war which was a debacle. I witnessed the near disintegration of the United States army which i was serving at the time and i think i came away from that war appreciating the limits of what military power can do. Im not a passivist and dont propose we should have a weak United States military but i have come to believe and events of the past 30 years have certainly reenforced that belief that the military instrument needs to be used with some discretion. What about as a deterrent and how do you feel of the concept of military deterrent as a way to keep guys like Vladimir Putin for changing the international . I think your question makes a very important point. The other formative military experience for me is after vietnam i basically spent about 20 years in what was in retrospect the latter half of the cold war and u. S. Policy in the cold war which did assign a considerable way to power did not see the value of military power for an instrument for intervention. Our strategy was one of containment. Right. I participated in the defense of western europe, a defense that was intended to prevent any crazies in the soviet union from thinking they could invade the west. Against them. And it worked and it worked while imposing a relatively modest cause and did didnt require us to kill people. Regime change. The regime changed ultimately. Ultimately the pack collapsed, ultimately poland and czech and hunkry gained independence and got their democracys but not because the United States was invading them and imposing some freedom, now that is an approach that requires considerable patience and particularly in the past 911 era we have not convinced a lot of patience and maybe its time to recover the patience recognizing that however great our military power may be its of somewhat limited utility. Military historian andrew is speaking with me recently and u. S. Military hit dozens of targets in syria and iraq in the last few days and a plan to stop i. S. I. L. And end the war in syria and u. S. Promised to help secure the border but as mary snow reports turkey has to juggle domestic priorities with international obligations. Its the only muslim majority country a member of nato and border of syria has become a pathway in the wartorn country. 30,000 fighters from 90 different countries, the greatest majority of them came through turkey. Reporter analysts say turkey has worked to since seal the borders and what led to the situation is complex. Turkey was once an ally of syrias president
